	The UFP Star Fleet utilized several different registry systems. The '''first''' took hold immediately upon the consolidation of the UESF into the UFP's rolls. The previous classification codes were dismissed and the abbreviation for Naval Construction Contract, NCC, was adopted to precede the registry number of all active Star Fleet ships. (The one exception is for prototype ships, where they are not considered active; their registry was preceded by NX, where the X stood for "experimental", until the ship was activated.) The system assigned all surviving (and UFP-worthy) hulls to numbers within blocks that matched their classes. The concept behind the process was that as new hulls were ordered, that class would receive a hard and fast range of numbers. However, prototype failures and construction delays, as well as the obvious budgetary leaps and falls, resulted in a mismatched puzzle of numbers, with some numbers never assigned, leaving noticeable gaps (some of which were silently filled by black ops).

	The '''third''' system: each individual ship class, inherited or new-build, was then assigned a block of 100 numbers, even if all 100 numbers were not used. When a new class was built, it would receive the next block of 100 numbers. If a class exceeded 100 units built, it would be assigned another block of 100 numbers, often separated from the original block. This created gaps within the overall numbering sequence, appearing to suggest there were more starships within the Star Fleet than actually existed.

The numbering scheme didn’t wipe the previously registered numbers, but instead jumped to 11000, starting in the year [[2301]].

			==Notes==
			* The decision to date the discontinuation of prefix letter codes in [[2271]] was because the ''Charger subclass of the ''Remora'' class escort were built with standard registry numbers in [[2272]] and the ''USS Crimea'', a ''Hellespont'' class cruiser, had adopted her new registry number before her operational loss to a lightly armed raider in [[2271]]. Additionally, the ''Richtofen'' class clippers were introduced in [[2268]] ''with'' prefix letter codes. The policy change could have occurred in [[2269]], [[2270]], or [[2271]]; the latter year was chosen for ease of change.
